the absolute horror they fuckin did to that CHILD. just what the fuck. HOW CAN YOU BEAT UP A LITERAL PUNY CHILD SO BADLY THAT HE GETS COVERED WITH BRUISES HEAD TO TOE AND THEN LEAVE THEM IN SNOW??? my brain is short circuiting from that---HE WAS SO LITTLE. holy fuck. it's NO surprise he's a NUTCASE rn in the present. Myeong is quite literally HOLIER THAN GOD with the contrast of his treatment to him and the shit he endured as a person and as a FUCKIN CHILD. the fuck
I'm always all for artists finding the right art style for them, but I guess it's the nostalgia that really makes me adore the old style 100 times better. that style in the groveling arc seasons with its PEEAAAAAKKK as hell story progression and emotions unfolding, matched with the really relaxing soft and decently-proportioned art; and again, the nostalgia. :"))).
I don't think I can read the sides for now, I'll be back when I feel can get past this major art style change though
they're so precious back then, this is so emotional knowing everything that happened prior it and then what's more to come after. lord, the way broken adults fuckin break children is just beyond impactful.
this is a great example of novels that don't just write awful horrors like r*pe and codependency for the sake of nothing but romanticizing it; the story building is so well-put. the emotional aspects, the scary (the way the author wrote and illustrate ML's character is so fuckin scary for so many reasons) and horrible darkness that it served prior it, then this unfolding and build up of showing a genuinely BROKEN child born in a BROKEN tragedy of a past and family, as opposed to a lousy backstory. really, the art and the plotting is so well-made all in all.
just when I thought my original comments during its first release couldn't ever be topped HOLY. FUCK. THE PASSION. THEIR VULNERABILITY TOGETHER. THEIR CONNECTION FUCKIN OOZING BEYOND THAT (already hot as fuck) SEX. THE CONNECTIOOOOONNN. bro, this is beyond peak. I'm so sick of manhwas always lacking so much in the connection and emotional bond aspect—but this one!!! just from this build up alone is AAAAHH







BOY OH BOY I JUST WANNA HUG MY YW (like I always do). HIS CLAPBACKS AND THE PLACE WHERE HE'S AT NOW ABOUT HIS (NON-EXISTENT) RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS "FATHER". YESSSS MY BABYYYYYY. as an Asian THIS. HITS. FUCKIN. HOME. bravo on this representation of generational gaslighting about familial gRatEfuLnEsS and rEspOnsiBiLitiEs and willingly being blind to the sheer impact of relatives' and/or parents' ABUSES. IT GENUINE TAKES A LOOOOTTT TO BE WHERE YW IS AT NOW, moresoo as an Asian, I'M SO FREAKING HAPPY AND PROUD OF MY BABY. and man, Seo-in really has been great at pushing YW further into healing in that aspect.
